Why squids blood contains haemocyanin?
Since squids do not have haemoglobin they use haemocyanin to bind and transport oxygen throughout their body.
What is the molar mass of haemocyanin and the freezing point of the solution when an aqueous solution is prepared by dissolving 1.5 grams of haemocyanin a protein obtained from crabs in 0.25 litres of?
Haemocyanins are a group of proteins.
Why does most molluscs and crustaceans use haemocyanin to transport oxygen?
it is because they do not have red blood cells .
What is the circulation in a mollusca?
Circulatory system mainly of closed type, but some emptying into lacunae. Blood is blue and contains haemocyanin.
What has the author Shameem Akhter written?
Shameem Akhter has written: 'The Phylogenetic and ecological implications of the respiratory protein, Haemocyanin, in Porcellio laevis (Porcellionidae'
What does hemolyph do in insects?
Hemolymph (or Haemolymph) is the fluid equivalent to blood and serves a similar purpose. Unlike blood, there is no haemoglobin so it is not red. Instead, the oxygen-carrying molecule is haemocyanin.
What are the Antarctic octopus' adaptations?
Apparently, this animal's blood is blue -- infused with copper: haemocyanin -- which protects it from freezing water. As well, its venom is chemically formulated to be effective in freezing water.
What insect is blue?
horseshoe crabs do indeed have blue blood, this is because the protein that carries oxygen in their blood is haemocyanin. This protein is a pigment like the haemoglobin in our blood, but instead of using iron to carry the oxygen it uses copper. When iron is oxidised it goes red (hence our red blood) and when copper is oxidised it goes greeny blue (hence the blue blood). horseshoe crab is the animal that has blue blood,,,..but i have no idea of insects having blue blood^_^ All those animals that have haemocyanin as the respiratory pigment have their blood blue when oxygenated. Haemocyanin is the respiratory pigment akin to haemoglobin but hemocyanin has copper as the cofactor instead of iron which you find in haemoglobin. Animals belonging to class crustacea and those belonging to phylum Mollusca have hemocyanin, and hence they have blue blood. Some notable crustaceans are crabs, lobsters, shrimps. Some notable mollusks include Snails, whelks. mytilus, oysters, chitons, squids, sepia, octopus. Limulus, called a horseshoe crab, also has hemocyanin.

Is there is hemoglobin in blue blood?
All human blood contains hemoglobin (spelled differently in different countries) Blood is bright red when oxygenated, and very dark red when oxygen is depleted (in veins) It is never blue. For animals that do have blue blood, ie, molluscs and many arthropods such as Horseshoe Crabs, this is due to the oxygen being carried by copper-containing haemocyanin, rather than iron-containing haemoglobin.
Why is blood a dark blue color?
The blood of a horseshoe crab is blue, it's not deep, it's more of a pale blue. It's blue rather than red like ours, due to the presence of haemocyanin in the blood cells, instead of haemoglobin.
What is elephant blood color?
All animals that have haemoglobin circulatory systems (which contains iron) have red blood, including elephants. Animals with haemocyanin systems (which contains copper) have a blueish blood as there is less oxygen absorption; lobster blood is almost grey as there is so little oxygen. Animals with haemolymphatic circulatory systems have a yellowish colour blood, which includes spiders and some insects. when my teacher said that elephant color is red and when it inhale it is pink understood.
